Farewell to staff

April 4, 2017

Words are inadequate to express our gratefulness and appreciation of the incomparable work performance and attitude the following staff have displayed during their tenure with St Stephen’s.

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially to people who have been such valued team members.

We wish you all the best now and into the future.

Nerina joined St Stephens 21 years ago in 1996. She leaves us for an overseas teaching post.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God, hold you in the hollow of his hand.

 

Kangaroo Paw lasting through time

November 24, 2016

Mr Titlestad holding a kangaroo paw grown by one of our Year 12 students who has just graduated. The plants were given to the Class of 2016 when they started the “Rite Journey” in Year 9, 4 years ago.  While this is probably the one surviving kangaroo paw from 4 years ago – it is also the most spectacular. I am delighted that this program which has gone from strength to strength continues under the leadership of Mr Dale Kelly and Mr Matt Lovell.
